Maximilian Johann von Ugar
Maximilian shows up as Tanya Degurechaff's classmate and rival during the War College Arc. He comes from an ordinary background, nothing fancy—just a regular family. By 1924 he's already got a newborn daughter, which says something about where his head was at during his military training.
The two of them had a genuine competitive thing going in school, but it evolved into something more substantial. After graduating from War College, they actually stayed connected. What started as rivalry turned into real friendship, and Tanya ended up trusting him enough to lean on that relationship more than once. Fans often note that his support becomes pretty valuable to her down the line, helping her navigate situations where having someone she genuinely knows in her corner makes a real difference.
